XFCE4's terminal doesn't keep transparency w/ normal user [solved]

... but it can as a root user.  I can set it to something after I launch it, but after I close it and reopen it, it's 0% transparent again.  It doesn't do this when I run sudo Terminal, so I imagine it has something to do with file permissions somewhere.  Maybe I even saved the settings as sudo'd root at one point in time and set the config file permanently (as far as a normal user is cocerned), but since the file is now owned by root, I can't access it?  I don't know the file regardless

Any thoughts?

Is ~/.config/Terminal/terminalrc user-read- and writeable?

And owned by you? I usually find it inadviseable to sudo anything that automatically writes config files. Even Vim gives me this problem sometimes (with .viminfo).
